State-of-the-Art and NASA-approved LASIK Technology

LASIK technology and its effect on vision correction- we have heard about this many times but what is LASIK technology exactly? What are the different types of LASIK technology? Are all LASIK the same? To answer common questions about LASIK, here are some facts which will help you understand LASIK technology better. First off, not all LASIK is the same and you should know which kind of LASIK technology your doctor uses. Some doctors still use traditional LASIK technology which utilizes a metal blade.

  • Modern NASA LASIK technology is blade-free.
  • Epi-LASIK. This is a newer procedure that is a cross between LASEK and LASIK. This solves some potential problems with both.
  • Excimer laser procedure is used in LASIK and other refractive vison correction like PRK.
  • VISX Star 4. This is used by many doctors because of its dependability and performance.
  • Wavefront LASIK (Custom LASIK). This is a revolutionary NASA LASIK technology. Custom LASIK treatments are based on the unique characteristics of your eyes.
  • Wavelight Allegretto. This is the fastest laser for vision correction in the United States.
  • LASEK vs. LASIK. The main difference between LASEK and LASIK is the thickness of the flap which includes only epithelial tissue in LASEK and corneal stroma tissue in NASA LASIK.
  • LASIK vs. PRK. For patients who are not candidates for LASIK, PRK (Photoretractive Keratectomy) or “flapless” LASIK can correct farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism.

All Laser Custom LASIK is so safe it has been approved by NASA for its astronauts and pilots.

The benefits of an All-Laser Custom NASA LASIK are:

  • It treats more than just astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness.
  • It is more accurate than standard measurements used for glasses or contacts.
  • It gives patients the potential for high-definition vision and better outcomes for glare, sensitivity, and halos at night.
